How to sleep in the night: no extremes

12 August, 2017

We are impressed by the information about how much Napoleon slept.Some people dream of an additional hour of sleep in the morning, and some can not bring myself to get up even after slept more than 9 hours.So how much sleep you need after all?

If we look at the Orthodox asceticism, we can see that it is recommended to spend 4-5 hours sleep.However, it is rather the norm for the student the night before the exam, not the number of hours of sleep for the normal state of health.Basically, people are able to sleep much, but this border opportunities.Generally asceticism designed primarily for monks and not for the people in the world, so this example I cite only a guide.If you need to work at night, 4-5 hours of sleep - the required minimum.Night without any sleep, you can not allow yourself more than once a month (so say the German scientists).Therefore, all kinds of night work - a very unhealthy practice.

In Soviet times, the medical standard was "the law of three eights."This means, sleep, work and

rest need to 8 hours a day.A reasonable rule, but not everyone can afford a holiday for so long.Yes, and 8 hours of sleep - a luxury.Although if you live like that, the feeling is very good.That is the law for those who can afford itself to adjust your schedule, such as freelancers.

Although as you need to sleep in the day, eventually decides to each one individually, on average, women need 1-2 hours more sleep than men.That's the way the female brain.By the way, a dream - a special state of the brain, a special regime, it is the time information is analyzed and reorganized, and the formed layers of information in non-volatile memory.So if enough sleep regularly, you will have problems with memory.Therefore, students better not to mock your brain frequent night parties.Otherwise, productivity will fall, and even a cut to school time will be enough.

How much sleep to cheerful mood?Classical recommendation - at least 7:00 man and woman to 7.5 hours.Although held in Oxford on honors experiment said that regardless of gender ideal student sleeping 7 hours and a quarter.But this rule can not be recommended to all, because for the study were selected elite students who may be different from the average person in intensity occurring nerve processes and productivity.

But we need to discuss the rules and a second side sleep.Yes, more than 9 hours sleep is undesirable.If you have sleep more, this may indicate the beginning of diabetes.If you sleep on the weekend for a long time under normal sleep for a week, then you need to consult an endocrinologist to check the condition of the pancreas and thyroid.By the way, those who have long sleep are prone to several times more likely to be obese.Of course, there is no direct relationship, a long sleep indicates an abnormality in the body processes.And it is not laziness, but just health.It is clear that the majority of adults who are able to bring himself to get up in the morning to work.We were "outstanding" sleep duration on weekends and holidays.

Should I sleep during the day?If possible, it is worth.And you need not sleep in the afternoon, and after four hours.Optimally - two hours.Personally, I'm very happy when I sleep 5 hours a night and then two hours in the afternoon.Then, after a dream I have sharply increased performance and after 6, I feel great.At the same time there is no inability to sleep at midnight.It's just a personal experience how much sleep you personally, will solve only you.There is always a particular way of life that must be considered.

How much sleep to feel great?7-9 hours, these clocks can be divided into two or even three of the interval.If you can sleep during the day, do not neglect it.
